[opensuse] wacom tablet [solved?]
Hi everyone I finally got my graphire 4 5x4 tablet working by trial and error. Yast set the device to /dev/input/event0 I tried: wacdump /dev/input/event* until I got sensible output from: wacdump /dev/input/event6 I then changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf as folows: Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[3]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Tablet" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 (USB)" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[5]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Pen" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Stylus (USB)" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[7]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Eraser" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Eraser (USB)" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "eraser" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[9]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Pad" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 Pad (USB)" Option "Type" "pad" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection Restarted X and all was well. My question is: will it always be /dev/input/event6 ? HTH others with wacom although I think that Yast ought to be able to configure it properly to begin with.

Yast set the device to /dev/input/event0
I tried:
wacdump /dev/input/event*
until I got sensible output from:
wacdump /dev/input/event6
I then changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf as folows:
Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Mouse[3]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" Option "InputFashion" "Tablet" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "Name" "GRAPHIRE v1-4 (USB)" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "USB" "on" Option "Vendor" "WACOM" EndSection

Restarted X and all was well.
My question is: will it always be /dev/input/event6 ?
HTH others with wacom although I think that Yast ought to be able to configure it properly to begin with.

I had my wacom working under 10.2, and never noticed it changed form event3 to anything else (I used the linuxwacom driver, does this mean 11.0 can do a wacom properly without an external driver?). However I never pulled my mouse or my wacom. If you wanna be sure, just pull the wacom, insert a mouse, re-insert the wacom and try if it works (you shouldn't do it if your're afraid of rebooting, it may crash although very probably not) Since the people @ linuxwacom use this way I think it probaly will not change, and if it does it may not be solvable.

To be sure and after a lot of digging I created a udev rule: KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom" and used /dev/input/wacom instead of /dev/input/event6 I used yast to set it up and never compiled anything from what looks a tricky installation process on linuxwacom. The only thing it got wrong was the /dev/input/event* bit. Still enough to make endless hours of searching though!

cool solution! Have to remember this one for when I have time to use may wacom (and thus have the need and time to reinstal it) -- There are two kinds of people: 1.
